This lesson brings mindfulness and meditation together into one simple practice. Mindfulness meditation trains your awareness to rest in the present moment without judgment. You will learn the basic structure of practice: choose a posture, choose a focus, notice when you become distracted, and gently return your attention. Whether your focus is the breath, sound, or body sensation, the practice remains the same. This lesson prepares you for your first guided mindfulness meditation by showing how awareness, focus, allowing, and non-judgment work together.
